I'm 48 and I would have been all over this thing at age 21 but it probably would have been out of my league cost wise. Incidently, I bought a new '85 VW GTI with manual windows and steering, crank open sunroof, and no air as my first new car. The MR2 or Celica GTS would heve been pricier then for sure. My friend bought the Corolla GTS '86 for a bit more money. The rear wheel drive was lively in slippery conditions and I always liked that car. You do only live once and although I really longed for a 2nd hand lotus Elise for a little bit more $, ultimately this was the more practical choice. Being in the Toronto area I am still pondering whether I will add winter wheels and tires to give it a go all year. Bought a 2012 xB last year as a fun hauler and might just keep that as the winter car. Will decide by the end of the summer.
Funny, if I hadnt opted for a very non-conventional choice in the xB last yr vs. leather, sunroof Accord or Passat typical choice for me Id never have been on the preorder list for the FR-S. Most likely would just be hearing about it now from the TV commercials. I luv my raven M6. It was the first shipment from the dealer and worth the price for sure. Yes the BRZ has a few extra niceties, but I am a Toyota fanatic and I prefer the front on the FR-S.
Most admirers giving me the thumbs up (there have been quite a few) are 20-something males.
